In addition to the distros already covered, should we add a description of the Qtopia images here? From playing around w/ the images linked on  [[Latest_Images]] it seems to be pretty functional.

I thought the FSO stack dialer application was written in Python. If so the FSO stack does indeed have it :)

Revision as of 15:58, 15 September 2008

This page is very useful. Thank you for creating it.

In addition to the categories/features you have listed already, I suggest something about its status/usefulness -- like "Who would use this?" For example, FSO milestone 1 is probably "Developers only".

Also, it might be useful to have something that succinctly describes the expected target state for each distribution. For example, FSO is the "Strategic framework for Openmoko".

I know this is a Wiki and I wouldn't mind doing this myself, but I thought I'd bounce the idea out there first.

I found here (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qtopia) that there's external app to control gps under qtopia (qtgps). I tested it and seems to work. There aren't maps but just infos about lat/long/speed/etc. Should we update the table? Dareus

What about Mamona?

Should it be added here?

What is it?

Mamona is an alternative Linux distribution for Maemo (read Nokia Internet Tablets). Unless someone already have ported it to run on Neo's, I don't think it should be added here. Tingo 22:35, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Towards a timeline

At some point a timeline will probably be useful. Here are some tools: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EasyTimeline http://infodisiac.com/Wikipedia/EasyTimeline/Introduction.htm MinhHaDuong 13:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Power Management

I suggest that Power management features (support for standby, suspend, management software) should appear in the table. I'm not adding them, as I only know 2007.2, but maybe you could. -- Relet 12:41, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
